Griffith, [1896]\n1. WHERE in the heavens are ye to-day, Gods, A\u015bvins, rich in constancy?\n Hear this, ye excellent as Steers: Atri inviteth you to come.\n 2 Where are they now? Where are the Twain, the famed N\u0101satyas, Gods in heaven?\n Who is the man ye strive to reach? Who of your suppliants is with you?\n 3 Whom do ye visit, whom approach? to whom direct your harnessed car?\n With whose devotions are ye pleased? We long for you to further us.\n 4 Ye, Strengtheners, for Paura stir the filler swimming in the flood,\n Advancing to be captured like a lion to the ambuscade.\n 5 Ye from cyavana worn with age removed his skin as \u2019twere a robe.\n So, when ye made him young again, he stirred the longing of a dame.\n 6 Here is the man who lauds you both: to see your glory are we here.\n Now bear me, come with saving help, ye who are rich in store of wealth.\n 7 Who among many mortal men this day hath won you to himself?\n What bard, accepters of the bard? Who, rich in wealth! with sacrifice?\n 8 O A\u015bvins, may your car approach, most excellent of cars for speed.\n Through many regions may our praise pass onward among mortal men.\n 9 May our laudation of you Twain, lovers of meath! be sweet to you.\n Fly hitherward, ye wise of heart, like falcons with your winged steeds.\n 10 O A\u015bvins, when at any time ye listen to this call of mine,\n For you is dainty food prepared: they mix refreshing food for you.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN LXXIV.
